Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce a post by "Doseidon". The view of the castle and cherry blossoms is one of the superb views. Osaka Castle, located in Chuo-ku, Osaka, is a castle built in Osaka Castle Park. After being built during the Sengoku period, the castle tower was burned down many times and remained lost, but was rebuilt in 1931 at the request of the mayor of Osaka at the time. Currently, the castle tower is registered as a national registered tangible cultural property. Osaka Castle Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot that has been selected as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots" in Japan. There are about 3,000 cherry trees in the park, including Somei Yoshino, Yamazakura, and Kanhizakura, and the best time to see them is usually around late March ~ early April. In addition, it is lit up from 18 ~ 21 o'clock and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night. The vast Osaka Castle Park is full of attractions. The megalith "Takoishi" at the end of the cherry blossom gate located in front of the Osaka Castle Honmaru is a popular tourist spot. It is 5.5m high, has a surface area of 36 tatami mats, and weighs 108 tons. In addition, Osaka Castle is dotted with megaliths, so it is recommended to take a walk around the megaliths. At the museum in the castle tower, themes are held including permanent exhibitions, and you can try on helmets and jinhaori. ◆Osaka Castle◆ 【Address】〒540-0002 1-1 Osaka-jo, Chuo-ku, Osaka 【Access】 "Tanimachi 4-chome Station" Exit 1-B About 15 minutes on foot from the station 【Parking lot】Available (Please check the official website for details.) ）

This is a photo I took when I went on a family trip to Kyoto at a famous cherry blossom spot called "Keage Incline". This one was taken close to the train tracks and tourists were not shown, but since I went there during spring break, there were many tourists and everyone was enjoying taking pictures. I had only used SLR cameras before, so before I went on a trip, I bought a film camera and tried shooting using it for the first time. I was full of anxiety about whether it was a good shot, but the colors are very good and I love this photo. I enjoyed the excitement of developing images and fell in love with film cameras. If you have the opportunity to go to Kyoto this spring, I would like you to go there!

These are Kawazu cherry blossoms and mejiro. Kawazu cherry blossoms are early blooming cherry blossoms that begin to bloom in early February. Kawazu cherry blossoms were born from the natural hybrids of the scarlet cherry blossoms and Oshima cherry blossoms mentioned in the previous post. Since it was discovered in Kawazu Town in Shizuoka Prefecture, it was named Kawazu Sakura. The reason why Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom so early is that the early flowering time of the cold scarlet cherry blossoms, which is the source of hybridization, is said to be the early flowering time. (Since the color of Oshima cherry blossoms is pure white, the color of Kawazu cherry blossoms seems to be somewhere between Kanscarlet cherry blossoms and Oshima cherry blossoms.) ) By the way, Kawazu cherry blossoms can also be seen in Tokyo. This photo was taken in front of the Marubeni Building in Otemachi. (It's quite scattered now.) ）
